   There was no USNO at that time, and we noticed, as already cited, a slight
difference in position from Downes & Shara (1993).  However, astrometry of
both observations were done near the limiting magnitude.  The question is
still open whether the USNO star is different from or identical with
the true DV Dra or the "outbursting object" in 1995.

   The chart in the original discovery announcement of DV Dra was not
good enough to discriminate such a subtle difference.  The second outburst
report contained no chart.
